2.1 hour Jet Ski Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 25 reviews · 2 hours

Join Jet Ski Safaris NSW for a guided ride on the Hawkesbury River, starting with practice on a learning track before a roughly 15 km trip past bridges, islands, and historic sites. The experience takes about two hours including the safety briefing. You can ride solo or share one jet ski, with a waterproof glovebox for your phone.

“It's a really great experience. Guides are great. Super chill and helpful. Just be aware that if you book for 2, you still only get one jetski and about 30 minutes each. If you want an hour of jetski-ing, you literally have to book twice I suppose.”
